Actually, I baked myself a cake.
A single-serving cake.
So…I lied. That title just had such a ring to it.
But here’s really simple recipe – using just four ingredients – that will leave your mind blown and your stomach happy. Promise.
peanut butter chocolate chip cookie cake {for one}.
ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons yellow cake mix (I used Gluten Free Pantry)
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (I used half dark and half white)
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large-ish bowl, combine cake mix and chocolate chips. In another bowl, whisk together peanut butter and milk. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine well. **The result will be more like a cookie dough than a cake batter.** Place dough/batter into a greased 6-inch diameter ramekin. Bake for 20 minutes.
Let cool for at least five minutes. Eat straight of the ramekin, or shimmy it out onto a plate.
Mostly cookie, part cake, insanely good. Make this.
Oooh, this looks fantastic!!!

oh yum!
Yay I’m so excited I have all of these ingredients on hand! 🙂
is it weird I have an open box of yellow cake mix i’ve needed to use up in single-serving indulgences?
thank you for coming through for me.
Yuuuuum! That looks seriously good, and so easy!
Looks awesome. Making it for one is a great idea, since I could easily polish off an entire cake myself 😉
Part cookie, part cake, with peanut butter! Sounds perfect 🙂
you make living alone not seem so bad <3 😉
do you think this would work with brownie mix? I only ask because I just bought of TJs mix and it's sounding really appealing right now.
I’m thinking it will…?! Let me know if you try!
p.s. miss ya girl, hope all is well 🙂
The next time I want something sweet, I will be baking that :)!
Well hello there, tomorrow’s breakfast! I have no shame.

since you used dark chocolate, obviously i am considering this a health food.
also, the white chocolate would probably be great with rolled oats and dried cranberries…seeing a lot of single serving cookie cakes in my future. i’ll re-link back to your page if i try it!
So, SO GOOD! Made a surprisingly filling breakfast too. 🙂
yay, glad you liked it! it is pretty filling, right?!
SO I was looking for something to mail my best guy friend for his birthday. I grabbed some ingredients for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I’ve totally changed my mind. LOVE this and can’t wait to make it for him.
I think one of my favorite things about your blog is all of your single-serving recipes. They are SO perfect people like me who cook for themselves pretty much daily. You rock 🙂
I want some NOW!!! 😀
So glad me and sis aren’t the only ones that use the word “imma”! Haha. Also the cake/cookie looks scrumptious. Totally doubling the recipe for the husband and I tonight.
This looks awesome! Perfect use for those cute ramekans I bought and haven’t used 🙂
Looks so YUMMY!!
I love that it’s a recipe for one, at least I won’t be tempted to eat more! :p

In a moment of desperation last night, we made this with chocolate cake mix instead (we ran out of yellow mix) and it was pretty good! Not as good as the yellow cake, but still worth the effort.
ooh, good to know!! Thanks girl 🙂
This looks amazing… unfortunately, I don’t have any prepared cake mix on hand. any suggestions?
Awesome! Can you make a recipe for white chocolate and raspberry blondies?
Made this last night with almond and coconut flour. It was delish. I also used fudge frosting. It was yumm. Everything I made was with clean ingredients. Thanks for the awesome idea!
